not bad for $0.99. simple, but a good hour's worth of gameplay

PUT IN BAD is a joke game intended to lambast the President of Russia. It's just a lazy 2D retro pixel browser/Flash-tier "number incrementer" game where the object of the game is to increase the in-game currency by clicking and buying things that increment your currency over time. It's an incredibly shallow game loop, to the point you might as well just run a program that does "i=i+1; print i" and watch the numbers go up. But this is just a joke game, so we shouldn't expect any substance. The purpose of your clicking is to make the president earn enough money so he can retire (spoiler, he didn't retire).

There's no complete English translation for the game (choosing English gets you a bunch of Russian text and tooltips), but that's ok. It turns out, the language of bad games is universal.

From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

The artwork here is terrible, it's a blend of old retro pixel "art" used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS-Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these "illustrations"). It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.

There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. It runs at a very low resolution and so there's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.

Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the 001 Game Creator game engine/toolset. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur developers as it's cheap (so they don't have to pay for GameMaker Studio) and doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities (it's arguably worse than GameMaker Studio). Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine.

These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

PUT IN BAD is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
